Thursday photo prompt: Lambent #writephoto
Image by scvincent.com
For visually challenged writers, the image shows a ray of light piercing the heavy clouds above a silky body of water bordered by dark hills.
Only the light
I often wonder if I am truly
conscious of the world around me
Dark billowing clouds, pierced by spiralling light
My mind invites much darker thoughts
The clouds seem to pale by them
What lives behind the cloak of darkness?
Ever moving, changing depth and colour
Something alive within, something I cannot know
Goosebumps on my skin tell me I don’t want to
Like a cat ever curious
The dark hills cradling the silky water
Invite me to look
Maybe what lies behind will excite your mind
Help you to forget the dark thoughts
I concentrate on the light
I see a heavenly body with a winged helmet
I hear her voice, ‘Take courage child
Not all are evil when the clouds grow dark…’

Beautiful, Anita! Darkness is not always negative… without it, we would never see the stars.
